The men said they were okay with man-on-man cuddling and spooning The researchers figured that, if gender norms are changing, more straight men will say they're okay with cuddling and spooning with another man. It turns out some straight men really like cuddling with each other What the researchers found was a bit surprising: the men said they were okay with man-on-man cuddling and spooning, and nearly 93 percent claimed to have done it before. 'We have a bromance where we are very comfortable around each other' The study looked at three main topics: bed sharing, cuddling, and spooning. Of the 40 men interviewed, 39 said they have shared a bed with another man at least once since attending university.
The one remaining student said he didn't remember if he had before: 'I might have been pissed. ' But all 40 athletes explained that there was no stigma to sharing a bed with another man, even if the other man wasn't a particularly close friend. Thirty-seven of 40 respondents also said they previously cuddled with another man. 'I feel comfortable with Connor and we spend a lot of time together,' one respondent explained. 'I happily rest my head on Connor's shoulder when lying on the couch or hold him in bed. The way I see it, is that we are all very good and close mates.
